From Building Confidence to a 94: Ghaya’s Chemistry Journey

The Challenge

When Ghaya began her Chemistry sessions with Mentor Match, she needed support with foundational concepts, applying concepts to questions, and avoiding careless mistakes. She also lacked confidence in some of the basic topics.

The Approach

Strengthening the fundamentals. Sessions focused on building a clear understanding of basic Chemistry concepts before moving to more challenging applications.

Structured practice. Topic-wise practice, regular revision, and active recall helped Ghaya reinforce what she learned and improve her accuracy.

Step-by-step learning. Personalised worksheets and guided explanations helped her approach questions with greater clarity and confidence.

Exam-focused preparation. As her understanding developed, preparation became increasingly focused on applying concepts effectively in assessments.

The Result

Ghaya’s progress became especially visible in her second term, when she achieved an impressive 94, marking a proud moment in her learning journey. Although her final-term score was lower, the consistency she demonstrated throughout the year remained an important part of her progress.

Her current performance is rated Very Good, with improvements in academic performance, conceptual understanding, and confidence.

“When we started the sessions Ghaya lacked confidence in basic topics and we eventually worked through it. Her second term score went really up and she got 94 which was a proud moment for both of us.” —
